Strange Stories

Chapter 504 Tailor-made clothes
The Taoist was sitting cross-legged on the attic, with dozens of beans floating in front of him. They were of different sizes, the largest of which was about the size of a pigeon egg. They were filled with spiritual light, rising and falling, and circling around the Taoist.

"call……"

Lin Jue opened his eyes. Many beans floated up and down for a while, flew in front of him, and then flew down again.

Some flew into his left sleeve, some flew into his right sleeve, and some flew into his arms. Only the bean the size of a pigeon egg fell into his hand.

This is the Longbo bean soldier.

Now the last bean soldier, Longbo's bean soldier, has also been replaced with the wood of longevity.

The fragments of the Queen Mother of the East's body are full of spiritual charm, and have a bit of immortal energy and many mysterious powers. Except for the inability to fly, it should not be a problem for them to defeat three or two gods. If they are continued to be sacrificed and refined for a long time in the future, perhaps they can reach the level of the Queen Mother of the East's clone.

There is no one who can rival him below the level of a True Lord Immortal.

Relying on these bean soldiers and this armored giant god, no matter how capable Lin Jue's disciples are in the future, when it comes to subduing demons and eliminating evil, he only needs to ask the bean soldiers to help. Not to mention that everything will go smoothly, most of the demons in the world can be wiped out.

Lin Jue put away the beans, stood up and walked to the window.

Creak! Open the window!

The mountain breeze in early summer was not hot but just the right amount of cool. It rushed in through the window and ruffled the Taoist's long hair.

This direction is actually the direction of the capital city, but due to the distance and the obstruction of the green mountains, the city cannot be seen from afar. Only the green mountains with continuous miasma can be seen.

And if you glance to the side——

A few feet away from the window, on the edge of the cliff, there is a small tree rooted in the cracks of the rocks. Like the ancient pine trees on Mount Yi, it grows obliquely upward, with branches extending outward. Its leaves are shaking in the wind, absorbing the midday sunlight and the essence of the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers, and forming a mist that surrounds it.

It is obviously a fairy tree at first glance.

Lin Jue took a porcelain bottle and poured pure spiritual liquid along the roots of the tree.

Then go to the other side and do the same.

After taking care of them, I couldn't help but stare at them for a while. It was a long time before I looked away and looked down the mountain again.

The girl returned leading a paper donkey and carrying tiles.

There was no sign of Xu Yi.

But if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of digging on the mountain above your head.

Thunderclouds flew out from the Taoist's sleeves, catching the girl and the paper donkey. Then tiles flew out one by one. They were all good tiles without any broken bubbles, and they automatically fell onto the roof of the attic.

There was only a small gap left on the roof.

I think it would be two or three times at most.

However, the peach tree Xu Yi planted on the top of the mountain today was already the last one.

"Replying to the Immortal, today in the old village at the foot of the mountain, there was a monster that looked like a cow with pig ears and cried like a wild goose and ate people. I asked a hero to shoot it to death and burn it."

"Um……"

Lin Jue nodded and looked at the girl's clothes.

She was still wearing the same clothes she wore when she came here, but because the weather had gotten warmer and she was frequently going in and out of the mountains, she was wearing thinner clothes.

There is no road in and out of the mountains now. No matter how careful you are when walking through the woods and grass, your clothes are bound to be caught by branches and thorns, resulting in some damage.

Xu Yi was obviously the same.

"Go down and take a bath. Today is a good day. When Xu Yi finishes planting trees, I will take you to the capital to make some Taoist robes to wear."

"Oh!"

The girl went down the mountain.

The fox didn't know where it was at first, but it appeared when it heard the three words "go to the capital". It didn't show that it wanted to go very much, but just stretched lazily in front of Lin Jue to make its presence felt.

……

The rumbling sound of thunder.

Dark clouds with lightning fell on a deserted place on the official road outside the city, and suddenly dispersed, allowing the three men and the fox to stand firmly on solid ground.

A man in Taoist robes, with a fair complexion and a fairy-like demeanor.

The two ragged boys and girls, five or six years apart in age, looked around helplessly, which immediately lowered the Taoist's image of being a fairy. Fortunately, there was a white fox nearby, which was as small as a cat and looked quite magical, which pulled the Taoist's image back to being a decent one.

"Has Xu Yi ever been to the capital?"

"No, I haven't been here."

This is not surprising, as he is not the only one who lives in counties surrounding the capital but has never been to the capital.

But Xu Yi had heard of the capital.

"I heard that the capital is the best city in the world, the largest and most prosperous city. It is full of high-ranking officials and nobles. You can even see the emperor, concubines and princes..."

Xu Yi turned his head and said to Pu Mei beside him.

Pu Mei was even more surprised and at a loss than him.

The young man had never been to the capital, but at least lived in Qinzhou. She, however, lived in a remote mountain. She only knew that there was an emperor, and there had been a war recently. She didn't even know which dynasty this was or what the emperor's name was. She only heard that this was where the emperor lived and that it was the largest city in the world, so she thought it was very amazing.

"Concubine..."

Lin Jue shook his head and smiled.

That imperial concubine should have been beheaded by Lord Luo.

"Don't be surprised. It's just a bigger city." Lin Jue said to them, "It doesn't matter if you have never been here before. I brought you here today so that you can know that today, Luo Seng, who led the troops from the north, ascended the throne in the palace. Although the south is not pacified at this time, future generations will probably regard today as the beginning of a new dynasty."

The two listened, neither of them understood what was being said, but they both felt it was inexplicably unusual, and their heads were buzzing.

Even the white fox at his feet didn't think the change of dynasties had any significance, but only noticed the two words "Luo Seng".

It knows this person!
"On the first day of the new dynasty, I brought you here to make new clothes and visit my old friend." Lin Jue said as he walked forward.

Finally, a figure was seen in the mountains.

It was an old man walking with a cane.

Seeing the Taoist priest, the white fox, and the two young boys and girls, even though his eyes were blurry and he couldn't see clearly, he couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

The fox followed the Taoist in small, cheerful steps and turned to look at him.

"Cough cough..."

The old man lowered his head and coughed.

The two sides passed each other.

"Canopy..."

"Cough cough..."

A coughing sound came from beside me.

When he turned the corner, the fox had transformed into the old man. His appearance, clothes and hunched demeanor were exactly the same. He walked beside the Taoist with a cane.

It was just after turning that corner that the huge capital city appeared in the eyes of the three people. Even before they arrived in the capital city, its uniqueness was already apparent - there were countless buildings and shops along the road. Although the bloodstains at the doorsteps were not yet dry and most of the shops had their doors closed, it was also evident how prosperous it was during its heyday. Some people had opened tea stalls on the roadside, and some merchants and officials were sitting down to rest.

The young boy and girl cast their eyes towards it, but then couldn't help looking towards the capital city ahead, feeling a little too busy.

Lin Jue was helpless: "Why did he turn into an old man?"

"Cough cough..."

The old man turned his head to look at him, but did not answer. He just coughed and quickly retracted his gaze. He looked at the road ahead with his dim eyes and walked with the help of a cane.

"Ugh~~cough cough!"

The cough is becoming more and more similar.

"naughty!"

Lin Jue couldn't help but hit it.

There were officials who followed Luo Gong from the north. They hated evil and immediately stared at the Taoist priest when they saw this.

The old man glanced at the official and then at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue simply ignored it.

Walk all the way to the south gate of the capital.

The scars on the tall city walls have not yet faded, and the dark blood stains under the walls seem to be indelible. When I came here again, the country had changed hands.

Lin Jue looked up——

There were many soldiers on the city wall, all wearing heavy armor. No matter they were standing upright with guns or holding swords relaxedly, they were all like tigers and jackals, with a strong bloody and murderous aura. They were completely different from the loose city gate guards of the previous dynasty. Even if goblins and ghosts wanted to pass through the city gate, they would be scared when they saw this scene.

The inspection at the door is also extremely strict.

There are far fewer people in the city.

On the one hand, it was because of the war, countless people died or fled. On the other hand, the new emperor ascended the throne today. Even if they could not watch the core ceremony, an imperial edict would be issued. The people probably gathered at the palace gate, waiting to hear about policies such as amnesty and tax reduction, so as to judge the inclination of the new emperor of the new dynasty.

Lin Jue walked in the deserted streets of the capital city, and his mind couldn't help but connect it to the past, especially the New Year's Eve before he went to look for materials for alchemy. Several of his senior brothers were there too. The dreamy capital city that night was obviously completely different from the one at this time.

Relying on his memory, he quickly found the tailor who had made Taoist robes in the past.

The tailor was still at home.

"Zhou Sanniang, why didn't you join in the fun today?" Lin Jue walked over with the boy and girl.

"Where can you go if your legs are broken?"

Zhou Sanniang squinted her eyes and vaguely recognized the old customer, but when she saw that he was accompanied by two young boys and girls and an old man who was about to die, she did not dare to recognize him.

But if you take a closer look, who else could it be but that person?

"Lin, Master Lin!"

"It's been a long time." Lin Jue looked down and saw her sitting on an armchair with one leg stretched out, as if tied with a wooden board. "What's wrong?"

"It's because of the war! Before the capital was conquered, a soldier was riding a horse in the street and got hit. Sigh, it's my bad luck." Zhou Sanniang said, feeling uneasy. She didn't know how she could meet Master Lin. She even thought that her life span had come to an end, so she met a god. "Master, what is this..."

"These are two new disciples I have selected. I plan to accept them as my apprentices. Zhou Sanniang has the best craftsmanship. I wonder if you have time to customize some summer and spring and autumn Taoist robes for them?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Of course! It must be made to fit!" Zhou Sanniang said repeatedly, "What about the real person?"

"I don't need that. It's enough for me. It's enough for me."

"Then this one..."

"This is a rebellious fox, it loves to play and has no limits, so don't worry about it."

"what……"

Zhou Sanniang was very upset. If she could stand up, she would have walked around the room. But she couldn't stand up, so she had to ask two young boys and girls to come over and measure their bodies.

While measuring myself, I asked timidly:

"Master, today, today the new emperor ascended the throne. It is said, it is said that he knows you. Why don't you go to see me?"

"No hurry, I'll go and see later."

They are busy and busy at the moment, so I won't disturb them.
